@Hasbro <\/a>normalizing grooming & facilitating child abuse?\u201d was asked in one tweet that showed a video of a disgruntled mother showcasing the doll.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe narrator to the video exposing the doll\u2019s button began by saying: \u201cI wanted to do a quick video because I find this disturbing, and I find it something that needs to be shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs you all know, stuff that has been going on in the world about the sex trafficking in kids and the stuff that is thrown in our kids\u2019 faces to kinda groom them, and make them kind of a little bit more oblivious to things that are really happening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The narrator goes onto explain: \u201cIt was my daughter\u2019s birthday a couple of days ago and she turned two. And she was given this gift: a little Poppy doll\u2013it is adorable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She then goes onto outline the features of the doll, including the 10 phrases and sounds that the doll makes when a button on its belly is pressed, but no mention of the button in the doll\u2019s intimate parts under her skirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The woman filming touches the doll\u2019s belly to demonstrate the promised feature on the box, causing the doll to sing. She then reveals a button on the doll\u2019s \u201cprivate\u201d area that makes a \u201cgasping sound\u201d when pressed, before reiterating the lack of any mention of the \u201cprivate\u201d button on the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The video drew much anger and even led to the creation of a success online petition to remove the toy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur society is conditioning our children to think pedophilia is ok,\u201d the petition begins. \u201cThis Trolls World Tour doll named Poppy has a button on her private area under her skirt. When you push this button on the doll\u2019s private she gasps and giggles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is not okay for a child\u2019s toy! This toy needs to be removed from our stores, the petition continues. \u201cWhat will this toy make our innocent, impressionable children think? That it\u2019s fun when someone touches your private area? That pedophilia and child molestation are ok? It\u2019s not ok! It\u2019s not fun!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s damaging and has long term affects on a child\u2019s mental\/physical health! Sign this petition to get this toy removed from shelves and help #SaveTheChildren! Children are our future and WE are their voice!\u201d The petition concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hasbro later announced it would be recalling the toy. The creator of the petition, Jessica McManis, was thrilled to hear of her success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
